AUGUST 8, 2011 - A MESSAGE FROM OUR WESTVIEW FOUNDATION

A Message from our Westview Foundation:

Dear Westview Parents:

Westview is one of the most outstanding public high schools in the nation. Some of Westview’s accomplishments are as follows:

In 2011 The Washington Post ranked Westview 253rd of all public high schools in the nation.
In 2009 U.S. News & World Report ranked Westview as a Silver Medal School.
Our API Score of 851 puts Westview as one of the top public schools in San Diego County, and California.
Over 1,900 AP exams were issued last school year.
The graduating class of 2011 was offered over $9.5 million in scholarships.
In 2011 Westview was recognized by California Business for Excellence in Education as an Honor Roll School.
Our School Newspaper and Dance Team have won national honors.

Over the past three school years Poway Unified School District has been forced to cut its budget by nearly $30 million. If Westview is going to maintain its level of excellence in these financially troubled times, it needs your support. The generosity of the Westview community in the past has enabled the Foundation to fund: extended library hours, additional library staffing during peak times, technology for the classrooms such as LCD projectors and supplies, computers, document cameras and Grade Cams, increased classroom supply budgets and Westview’s Newscast which provides visual communication to the entire student body.

While the Westview Foundation has made tremendous strides through generous donations from our Westview families, there are many areas on campus that need your support. The Foundation is still raising funds for additional needs including: upgrades to the theater and sports facilities which are utilized by the entire Westview community, upgrades to the library book collection, additional secretarial and custodial staffing during peak times, as well as additional computers and other technology upgrades.

In order to accomplish our goals we are asking for a donation of $250 per child or $400 per family. Please help to support and maintain Westview as a nationally ranked and award-winning school by making your tax-deductible donation today.

You can make your donation on-line through the Wolverine Webstore, leave it with the Foundation representative during registration, or mail it to: Westview Foundation, 13500 Camino Del Sur, San Diego, CA 92129.

Thank you for your generosity.

Donations of any amount are appreciated.
